These crags are really dirty and neglected.
25m HVS
Climbs the steep wall and shallow groove 3 metres right of the arete of Gouttes d'Eau.
(5a) Start directly below the obvious V-groove. Climb straight up the wall to the groove and follow it to a good ledge. Step left and make an awkward move up the arete, then cross the mossy slab to finish at the same point as Responsibility.

This small buttress lies directly behind the farm, about 100 metres beyond the parking place for the main crags. Access is currently denied by the farmer. The crag used to have a variety of bolt belays placed for use by groups. These have fallen into disrepair. The crag is filthy. The routes are described from left to right.
22m VS
A poor route. Start just left of the fence.
(4c). Climb past several trees to finish up the groove just left of the arête.
First ascent: (23/05/1984) J Channing, R Andrews
15m E2
A good climb taking the prominent crack in the left buttress.
(5b). From the fence post climb directly up to the break. Move up and right to gain the bottom of the crack. Follow this to the top.
First ascent: (16/06/1984) S Howe, R Cassidy
15m E3
Varied climbing on the right-hand side of the left buttress.
(6a). Climb the wall on small holds to join Norman the Undead. Follow this to a small niche. Move boldly up on layaways until a reach right brings good holds. Continue up to an awkward finish.
First ascent: (10/06/1984) S Howe, J Beveridge
15m E4
A stretching climb taking the open groove and crack just left of Friends Beyond.
(6a). Climb the groove to a peg runner. Step left onto the arête and then back right above the groove. Up the easy cracks above.
First ascent: (15/05/1985) R Smith, JW Earl
15m E2
The main feature of the buttress: the central groove gives brutal climbing.
(5c). Climb the fierce groove to its top.
First ascent: (24/05/1984) R Andrews, S Howe
15m E3
An elegant climb taking the arête right of Friends Beyond. Start just left of Under the Greenwood Tree.
(6a). Climb diagonally left to a good nut slot. Move up (crux) to another break and peg runner on the left. Reach up left to a good hold, then straight up the wall above.
First ascent: (23/04/1984) S Howe, R Andrews
12m E1
A deceptive little route.
(5b). Climb the obvious right-hand crack. Steeper than it looks!
First ascent: (15/05/1984) R Andrews, J James
12m HVS
A wandering climb, just right of Under the Greenwood Tree.
(4c). Climb up then slightly rightwards until a move is made back left to finish.
First ascent: (18/05/1984) R Andrews, J Channing
30m E3
A left to right girdle taking in some of the best climbing on the crag.
(6a). Climb the wall immediately left of the fence post to below the final crack of Norman the Undead. Move right past the peg runner on The Chain Gang to gain the hollow flake on Friends Beyond. Reach up to a good hold just above the flake, then stretch right to the arête. Move delicately across and slightly down to a ledge right of the crack; finish up Human Shows.
